The Problem

Launch a greenfield, accelerator platform that unifies programs, events, and jobs with reliable online payments, clear access control, and low operational overhead.

Our Solution

A Laravel-based core with an administration dashboard, and payments through Stripe and Alipay. We implemented role-based access, background jobs for workflows, and analytics for program and event performance.

Integrated payments (Stripe, Alipay) with verified webhooks

Operational dashboards for programs, events, and jobs

Automated emails and notifications for key user actions

Lessons Learned

Design payment flows early, with clear fallback paths
